Y OUTH F OOTBALL Continued from 1B age,” he said. Co-president Bill Thompson also said that the board is motivated to provide a more affordable option for families inter- ested in youth football. It costs $150 for k-1 students to play tackle football, and it costs $210 for students in grades 2-6. “We aren’t phasing out tackle football. We are offering another option, and it’s our hope that we can offer fl ag football for $75,” he said. Under this plan, South Lane’s tackle pro- gram will continue to follow the guidelines of Willamette Valley Pop Warner (K-6), and those established by individual school districts (7-8). In addition to cost, the Pop Warner sea- son, which runs from late August to mid- T RACK AND November, represents a signifi cant time commitment for families. Roberts said that the K-1 fl ag program will begin after Labor Day and conclude by the Saturday before Halloween. In the short term, Thompson expects that the numbers for K-1 fl ag and tackle foot- ball will be strong enough to support both leagues. And in the long-term, he said the reorganized South Lane Youth Football community will offer the support and fl ex- ibility to adapt to ebbs and fl ows of partici- pation. “If you have a group of organizations that support each other, its going to be easier to promote the sport as a whole,” Thompson said. “And when communities don’t have enough players to fi eld a full team, we hope that the South Lane Youth Football network will make it easier to combine teams.” Roberts said that the fl ag football league will follow the NFL Flag model, and each team will need a minimum of 6-8 players. He also added that this will be a pilot pro- gram and that fl ag football could be offered to additional age groups in the future. High School gearing up for 2015 With the spring sports season drawing to a close, the Cottage Grove High School program is preparing for some of its fi rst offi cial activities of the year. The team will have a week of spring practice during the fi nal week of May. The Lions will then host McNary, Pleasant Hill, Siuslaw and Willa- mette in a 7-on-7 competition on June 13. And in late June, the team will make its annual trip to Seaside for the Camp Rilea Football Camp.

She fi nished third with a dium, as she placed fourth and sixth in the throw of 37-02, which moved her into fi fth 100 hurdles and 300 hurdles, respectively. “I know I haven’t been running really place on the school’s all-time list. Melissa Powers also cracked the school’s good this season but overall I feel that my all-time top-10, fi nishing in fi fth in the jav- hard work is starting to pay off,” she said. “It’s a little intimidating [when you’re not running in the fastest heat] but it goes to show that it doesn’t matter what heat you’re in as long as you leave it all on the track.” The Lions, who fi nished eighth with 44.5 points, also saw top-eight fi nishes by Hannah Albrecht (100 —7th), Faryn Dahlen (100 hurdles — 6th) and Melissa Thelma (high jump — 3rd).

Tharpe also contributed a pair of top-5 fi nishes in the 100 (5th, 11.71) and 110 hurdles (3rd, 15.73). Tyler Ledford came from the back of the pack in the 800 to place fi fth in 2:01.80.
